Has anyone out there who works on knives, built and used The Extendo Forge from Wayne Goddard's $50 Knife Shop book? Below is my version of his design and I am just getting started trying it out. You have to go by color or magnetic properties for proper temperature, as far as I have been able to find out, since it doesn't have a temp-measuring thermocouple. I tried it out on my infamous "little finger filleting patch knife" to anneal the tang enough to drill it (you can read my other post to get the disasterous results). I made the knife from a mower blade.
I am looking for some input from anyone who might have experience on using the One-Brick or Extendo forges, before I really get to working with it. I'd rather learn from someone's experience than make all the same mistakes over. Thanks in advance.
